Why I don’t (and never have, hehe) “work cheap”.

OR work with those who don’t value my time, or services, or books, or products.

In very rare cases I might give people a trial.

As I did in that job wayyyy back in 2008 where given my results I was being underpaid if anything. Big time. At least if you look at the results and not the brown nosing (I have to admit – I failed miserably at the latter, hehe).

But really, my friend.

Thats why my books and products aren’t cheap, despite the ongoing chorus of hoo haa about it.

Because if it’s cheap, well, it ain’t gonna give you value, but you know what the trouble is?

In my life, EVERY time I’ve done something on the cheap, I’ve seen people “expect more” – and why?

Well, because apparently “I have the ability”.

OK, then pay me more.

Uh …

OK, well, then you get what you pay for.

Rant! Hissy! “We’ll find someone else”.

(year down the line)

“Ok, so how’s that working out for you. Probably not the best, hehe”.

And the scowls I get validate it for the most part.

But ole Freddie was right.

I don’t work cheap. Never have, never will, and won’t last if by some fluke I have to.

And this brings me to another facet of it.

Being I design websites (well, used to, for a living at a certain stage), I often have people asking me for quotes on it.

And in ALL these cases, after I quote them, gues swhat happens.

NADA.

A big, fat ZERO – and while in that case they’re mostly price shopping, there is more to it.

Por ejempelo, a bar owner in Dongguan who is “always busy” and wanted an “exhaustive quote” on my services despite him being “too busy” to get back to me on it.

And of course, the red flag went up on that one as soon as I followed up (truth be told, I shouldn’t have, but did it anyway).

“Bro, I’m too busy” (not to mention I HATE the word “bro” most of the time, especially when we’re talking business!)

OK. He wasn’t too busy to request an exhaustive quote though or read it. Hehe.

I’ve written about Sophia, of course.

Gave her an exhaustive quote.

Which she then took to another company, got it done on the cheap, and then had the audacity to ask me for “modifications” (the REAL stuff that is required to be done on a web site as opposed to point and click).

SO of course, she could pay me by the hour.

“He’s too expensive to employ full time!”

AH, but guess who they come out when they want the REAL DEAL.

And when they want something that MATTERS – DONE!

And thats great.

I’m happy to be that guy that is ignored except for when it’s time to get the job DONE.

But point being?

It’ll only get done if you compensate me, and do so well!

And if not, well, that door is always open for ya, hehe. Don’t let it hit you in the ass!

Alright, end of rant. I’ll be back soon with more probably!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
